Yahoo Sports fantasy contributor Sal Vetri explains why the Packers tight end could trick managers this week.
Video Transcript
Yeah, there’s no bigger trick in fantasy football right now, in my opinion, than Tucker Craft of the Green Bay Packers.
He currently ranks seventh in tight end Fantasy points per game, but his expected Fantasy points per game, which is based on his role and based on usually what should be happening is 20th in the league that ranks around guys like Tyler Conklin discussed earlier and also John who Smith tight ends who are on most waiver wires right now.
And now the reason this is happening, he’s in a good efficient offense.
So he’s scoring some touchdowns, he’s scoring a touchdown on 20% of his receptions this year for some contacts that’s 4 to 5 times higher than the NFL average.
What you’re seeing right now is a complete trick.
He’s averaging an 11% target share the last month since every single Packers receiver came back from injury or suspension.
I’m looking at you, Romeo Dobbs, that’s behind Josh Jacobs, the running back and wide receiver for Dont Von Wicks.
This player more the weeks than not when he doesn’t score a touchdown is gonna get you two or three catches for 30 yards.
He’s somebody, I think you should be trading away right now if you can, maybe for our treat, Bucky Irving and especially with Jordan love banged up.
He’s somebody who’s a trick.
